“Who is Horse of the Year?” With Scott Hazelton

I voted for Accelerate No. 1 in the NTRA poll, but that’s only because, in that poll, I tend to move horses that are not active down the list. You’re going to see campaigns like Accelerate had again. Over the last 15, 20 years, we have seen horses that have had similar campaigns. I don’t know when, or if, we’ll ever see anything again like what Justify did. Look at all he accomplished over a 112-day period. I know that everybody is knocking the 3-year-old crop, but at beginning of year people were saying it was one of the better crops we’ve seen in a long time. It seems to be the theme every year, people knocking the 3-year-old crop. Accelerate came around in the wrong year. Just one loss for Justify probably would have switched my vote to Accelerate. Even losing the Santa Anita Derby might have swayed me. I am big on the fact he was undefeated.

Hazleton is an Eclipse Award voter
